Time is ticking . . .

Erewash Borough Council has issued a final reminder to local residents that if they are not already registered that they must register by Friday 12 April to have a right to vote in next month’s elections.

With less than two weeks to go to the register deadline, the council’s elections team is continuing to register hundreds of people who are getting in touch or going online to confirm their details.

Anyone old enough to vote who is not on the council’s Register of Electors by the deadline day will not be able to vote in the Borough and Parish elections taking place on Thursday 2 May.

It is quick and easy to register online at www.gov.uk/register-to-vote
